8th Week

Hello,

I decided to start a blog to keep family and friends in the loop during my much anticipated 1st pregnancy.  This week has been a little difficult as not only have I been extremely fatigued, but also dealing with a head cold.  Despite this, I feel very blessed to not be plagued by morning sickness. 

On an emotional front, I still find it hard to believe I'm actually pregnant! I waited my whole adult life...eventually thinking it would NEVER happen.  I can't wait till I get a baby belly so that I have a constant little (or big) reminder of  my impending arrival!!

Our first ultrasound was April 27th and our baby was "dated" at 6 weeks 4 days.  He/she was only 7mm at the time but had a strong heartbeat of 120bpm.  It was absolutely surreal to see a fluttering little heart inside me...especially since we were still a little shell shocked.  Not in a bad way! Just really, really surprised  that Baby Bean had beat the odds to even exist!  (And there were a LOT of odds!) I didn't even believe 3 home pregnancy test, kinda believed the blood test, and might have still been in a wee bit of denial until I actually saw the ultrasound! :)
